Complimentary Portfolio Review

Over the years, we have come to appreciate that strong diversification, low fees and tax-efficient strategies form the basic building blocks of a solid investment program. Unfortunately, most financial advisors recommend portfolios that are poorly diversified, expensive and/or tax inefficient in our view.

What to expect?
Based on a review of your financial holdings, risk assessment, and investment objectives, we will conduct a substantive review of your portfolio and provide an analysis via Zoom or in-person that includes:

Portfolio Review Components
• Your overall allocation and how it may or may not meet your long-term financial needs
•Recent performance of your assets and overall allocation vs. benchmark returns
•Advisory fees and hidden/less obvious commissions, spreads and fee-inefficient holdings
• Any tax inefficiencies within your holdings
•Our recommendation designed to optimize risk, return and cost-efficiency

Goal Connected

Our portfolios are connected to your goals. If you have 'won' the game, why keep playing. Likewise, higher risk portfolio may result in attaining more desired goals.

Risk Managed

We seek to minimize the risk of not attaining your goals. This relates to our planning process and our investment process.

Cost Effective

We build portfolios using low-cost funds. This helps to improve the success rate of our client's retirement plans and reduce unnecessary risk.

Portfolios are diversified using alternatives such as commodities, real estate investment trusts, and hedge fund strategies. In some cases, specific securities are selected (such as dividend stocks). Market sectors might be over- or underweighted to better match the pre-existing risk profile of the client. Portfolios are tactically rebalanced at the margins based upon various economic factors, such as those discussed in Antti Ilmanen’s Expected Returns.

Finally, fixed income investments are added to dampen portfolio volatility to the desired level.

No investment strategy is always in favor. Our clients are long-term investors who seek to harvest the returns accruing to these academically-based approaches over the market cycles. They are encouraged to stay the course during the inevitable periods of underperformance, the better to avoid the fate of investors who become impatient during such times.
